A Macau Daily Times’ reporter has been invited to be a guest on TDM Radio Macau’s newest show, “Tagay Pinoy,” which will air tomorrow night. Lynzy Valles, a Filipino citizen, discussed the importance of preserving Filipino culture and tradition, despite residing in the region for over 20 years. As the Times has previously reported, TDM Radio launched the radio show in a bid to reach out to the second largest community in the region. “Tagay Pinoy” offers news and a variety of entertainment to the Filipino community. The radio show, hosted in Tagalog, will be aired tomorrow at 8 p.m. on FM98.

Sales of suspicious crabs prohibited

The Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau (IACM) requested that seafood suppliers in the city stop selling a type of crab which has been found to have exceedingly high levels of dioxin, according to a notice published earlier by the IACM. The dubious type of crab was inspected in Hong Kong during tests conducted by the food safety center over goods of two importers from the neighboring region. Meanwhile, the IACM confirmed that the crabs were imported to Macau, and that they have already entered the market to be sold. The IACM urges the concerned industry to not only ban the selling of this imported crab, but also to pause its imports. The bureau also calls on members of the public who have purchased the crabs to not consume them.

Casino employees complain after being fired

Yesterday, several casino employees, along with the Association of Rights of Gaming Industry Employees
(新澳門博彩員工權益會), visited the Labour Affairs Bureau to report that they had been unreasonably fired. The association said that it had received complaints from some casino employees who had already been fired. These complaints stated that their employer had fired them under the allegations that these employees were conspiring with customers in order to obtain money from a casino.
